IPL Star, Once Banned By BCCI, Gets Into On-Field Spat. This Happens Next
However, his spat with West Delhi Lions opener Ankit Kumar did not go his way.
The controversy started when Rathi pulled out of his delivery stride - a ploy that used several times during IPL. However, when he went to deliver the ball, the batter decided to move away.

It resulted in a war of words between the two cricketers and when Rathi came to bowl the next time, Ankit greeted him with two back-to-back sixes - one over long-on and the other over deep mid-wicket.
The batter even made a 'two' gesture at Rathi after his two massive sixes.
While Rathi remained wicketless in the match, Ankit went on to slam 96 off just 46 deliveries with the help of 11 boundaries and 6 sixes. West Delhi Lions went on to clinch the game by 8 wickets.
